Harrogate's Harry Gray signs professional contract with Leeds United

Harry Gray has signed a professional contract with Leeds United.

Promising Harrogate footballer Harry Gray has signed his first professional contract with Leeds United.

The 17-year-old, who has been with Leeds since his early academy days, has agreed a long-term deal with the club following an impressive spell for both the youth and senior sides.

Harry made his senior debut last season at just 16, coming off the bench in Leeds’ 6-0 victory over Stoke City - the game that sealed the club’s promotion back to the Premier League.

Since then, he has continued to make an impact for the Under-21s, scoring four goals in his first three Premier League 2 matches this season, including a hat-trick in the 3-1 win over Scunthorpe United.

Speaking after signing his deal, Harry said:

"I’m very proud and excited for the future.”

The young striker has also been part of first-team matchday squads in both the Premier League and League Cup this season, while earning international recognition with a call-up to the England Under-18s.

Harry follows in the footsteps of his older brother Archie Gray, who also came through the Leeds United academy and has established himself as a first-team regular.

A Leeds United spokesperson said:

“Everyone at the club would like to congratulate Harry on signing his first professional contract, and we look forward to seeing his development over the coming seasons.”
